Flowing dresses in chiffon, georgette, and silk, with empire line and A-line silhouettes in colours of pink, ivory, and rich tones of red and brown lent an opulent touch to the clothes.

“I am always interested in fusing cultures. Indian and western together is much more interesting for me than just western. So that’s what I did in this collection. We started with Indian silhouette but we updated it and added more colour and more texture to it, we made it slightly modern,” said Vineet.

LFW is the first event independently organised by fashion accessories major, Lakme.

Lakme had sponsored the last three India Fashion Weeks. However, it branched off to move on its own after FDCI announced it would be holding separate fashion weeks for the spring/summer and fall/winter collections from 2006 and the two organisations could not agree to the sponsorship amount for the events.
